With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- A natural pick for history and war-film fans and anyone interested in what war does to ordinary people. It puts you in the middle of the fighting, and doesn't let you forget the cost. Shelve it next to The Dirty Dozen or The Great Escape.
- The mood
- Intense.
- The pace
- Moves along nicely, at 1 hr 30 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1968: an older pace and style.
In Yugoslavia during WWII, a small band of courageous commandoes are sent to kidnap an important German commander in exchange for an American general being held in a German fortress.
